Galliani hails Nesta-Silva as best defenders in the world and reveals injury concerns for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 game
A.C Milan Vice-President, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alessandro-Nesta-c4735 and Thiago Silva as the best defenders in the world.
The defensive duo was outstanding in Milan’s 2-2 draw against Spanish and European Champions, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, at the Camp Nou on September 13, 2011. Nesta’s was adjudged man of the match by several pundits while Silva lighted up his
superb defensive performance with a goal in the dying minutes of the game.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lazio-c39775 defender was criticized by many to have passed his prime and was considered as a weak link in the Rossoneri first-team. The former Italian international silenced the critics with an outstanding display to stop
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 and co ruling the game.
Galliani believes that despite catching up with age, Nesta still remains one of the best defenders in the game today. The 67-year-old also believes that Nesta and Silva partnership is the best central partnership in the world today.
Galliani said, “The team’s morale is good. Nesta? He has once again proved to be a fantastic player. We think that Nesta is 35-years-old but when Sandro is in the form, along with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Silva-c34903, they form the best defensive duo
in the world.”
Galliani insisted that despite being faced with injury concerns, his team is ready to take on Napoli at the weekend. Inspirational striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029 is unavailable for the game due to a muscle injury while Robinho will
also miss the game. The Rossoneri will be without several midfielders for the game as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Massimo-Ambrosini-c24579 are also unavailable.
“With [Alexandre] Pato and [Antonio] Cassano in attack we are in good shape. [Stephan] El Shaarawy? Talk to [coach Massimiliano] Allegri, but right now is the third-striker. [Against Napoli] We will miss Boateng, Ambrosini, Ibrahimovic,
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926, and we also have won the Italian Super Cup.”
The Italian Champions will travel to the Stadio San Paolo to take on Walter Mazzarri’s men on September, 18th, 2011.
